System Information
Operating system: OSX/Linux
Graphics card: NVidia 1050Ti

Blender Version
Broken: 2.79b Release

Short description of error
When choosing preference setting behaviour to link materials to object instead of data, this setting is ignored.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
Select the "link to object" in preferences
Add Object
Add Material
Observe material is still linked to data

Either I'm doing something wrong or this has been an issue since "forever"
Even the 2.79b release doesn't respect the setting.

Thanks for looking into it,
Roel

Is it still broken in the 2.79 build from here https://builder.blender.org/download/ ?

maybe I should have said broken SINCE...
every build since then, up and including 2.80 branch doesn’t respect the setting.
just check the behaviour, it’s quite simple to verify..

You are right, it is simple to verify. But the tracker is being flooded with bug reports as the interest for 2.8 is really high. So if the version in the report is not recent, that is the first thing to ask for.

@ideasman42 seems like you made this change be1a684755

It seems like this will cause the user preferences to never be respected. So it is kinda useless.
How to proceed? If I make user prefs be respected again, the issue you fixed will be back too.
